Seeing how it goes so far I can safely say that this is a good manga. Yeah sure you can go ahead and diss it because of the cliche plot but we all still come back reading it anyway. The mc is cunning and even if he is given op powers they don't feel too op. He has to use his brain to trick others in order to win. He has to put in effort and not just think hard about winning.

Frankly when I saw the cover art I didn't even want to read it because 99% of manga who put a female on the cover despite having a male mc are trash trying to appeal to a certain part of the community. But everything just feels organic. Even his first interaction with her is perfect, nothing feels too forced or cringe, they both act like adult. It's refreshing. We are used to see 14yo gets isekai'd and every character they meet has the same mental age.

Both of them have trust issues so seeing them interact awkwardly with each other is funny. It's like two animals testing each other. I just love the pace and the feel of that manga. I saw someone somewhere say that the novel is more interesting so I might give it a try. As for the manga it's a good read.
